Wine Advocate ReviewThe outstanding 2003 Black and Blue (an equal-part blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) has a deep bluish/purple color and a gorgeous nose of black raspberries, blackberries, lard, and spicy oak with notions of licorice and pepper. In the mouth, it is a lush, opulent, fruit bomb with loads of glycerin and headiness as well as an undeniable hedonistic appeal. However, it needs to be consumed in its youth over the next 5-6 years.Wine Tasting NotesA Cabernet-Syrah blend, Black & Blue is drinking well now, offering a load of sweet fruit and balancing spice. But it will no doubt age into something even more exotic and subtle with years in the bottle; ten years from vintage should be really interesting. It's a variation on a theme most wine lovers have heard, the Napa Valley Cabernet theme, but it's played a little differently, more wild and haunting.
